Unknown Warrior is a novel that interconnects the contemporary with the historical. It explores the beliefs and the conflicts, the struggles of conscience and their tragic consequences that span the generations. Two tourist guides working in the London of 2012 uncover a past that takes them on a journey through the na ve splendour of London in the first decade of the 20th Century, the squalour and horror of the First World War trenches, the terror of the Blitz, and the pain and passion of the ordinary lives of their ancestors and themselves. What is revealed from this journey of discovery is both intriguing and shocking.
